5:06 how did he not fall off! Amazing!

and just CAAAAAAARVES through it

One of the most entertaining heats I've ever watched! Thanks guys!!!

These two kids do the best surfing I've seen in all conditions!!

3:56 Freak athleticism. Unbelievable.

Did Medina carve through it at a certain point?

Does he "Carve Thru it" ? Like to hear that one more time for confirmation.

This was the real final. Both surfed incredibly well and were the real top 2 contenders. Great contest. Thanks WSL for more sensible scoring, based more on actual difficulty than old school style (maybe they've taken a que from street league skateboarding lately?). Also nice to see these contests at an unpredictable beach break, like a Hossegor or an Ocean Beach, SF. Much more entertaining than a monotonous point break.

A great battle. Such close scores and awesome surfing from two Legends!

Medina voando mto alto, parabéns pela a etapa da França

A parte ruim de ver esses videos é o tanto de replay da mesma onda, podia ser 1 só.

Thank u for posting. Here U K 2020 🇬🇧 LOVE SURF THE BEST NOW ARE THE BRAZILIANS 🇧🇷. 🇧🇷

That heat was insane

It was really cool to see them embrace after that epic battle. Personally I think John has better style, way more fluent, but this was fucking historic.

Teve juiz se coçando todo pra dar a virada pro JJF naquela última onda... ainda ganhou 9 pontos, uma nota surreal pra uma onda sem nenhuma manobra realmente boa.

9 para aquela onda de JJF foi uma nota acima da realidade. Medina fez uma manobra de altíssima dificuldade que foi realizada apenas uma ou duas vezes em baterias e deram nota 8,57. Critérios estranhos!

Melhor Bateria de Sempre

Two of the best surfers in the world. Insane heat.

5:04 Esse momento você percebe a conexão dele com o mar!

Inacreditável os juízes darem 9 naquela última onda.

Looks like the wave put him back on the board.. hahaha sweet mahn

Coração na mão! Pipe me deixando louca, quem será o campeão? 17/12/17

Que bateria meus amigos... Maluco tava com sangue no olho

Venceu a indústria do surf, está na hora de haver votação pública pela internet . Medina Você venceu!!!

EPIC battle. What a landing by Medina... He was the better surfer today!

Aí eu tive a agora a confiança em Gabriel,ele falou assim: glória a deus!!!😉🤗😏🙌🙏🙋

Simplemente magic

Amazing heat

Dude, john is an absolute freak, but Medina´s strategy was way better. John was the standart of the event and Medina took this one in surfing better and solid, as well as John took it last year with that upside down drop in the barrel. These battles between both are going to be the most incredible of the new generation. I´m a HUGE fan of john´s surfing and lifestyle, but still an amazed fan of Medina´s competitiveness and surfing too, and this one was won by Medina´s frigity, the same way the last one was won by John´s unbelieable skill. We are about to see some matchups that are gonna shine forever in surfing history.

This is just wow 😳

Wow what a tight battle

John is the most talented surfer in the world and when he came to this heat, it was thinking "oh my good, its gonna be so much fun and an air show, so i m gonna throw everything at it" and Medina´s thought was "i have a strategy and i m here to win" so they both played their games and medina came as the winner. I admit, though i m brazilian, i was cheering for john because his style, surfing and his humility and stocked personality are amazing, and he was surfing better than anyone in the event, but i think this lost was cool because if it didnt happened the world title race would be boring, with john isolated like last year at the final events, so i think this result was good for both, making the title race interesting and giving medina some inspiration. ps: we all wanna see medina and john fighting for the world title in the next years, so medina needs to BE in the title race and fired up too. Plus medina is the best COMPETITOR in surfing today.

Medina so technical & innovative. But jjf style + freakish skill

Cam on ban da cho toi xem canh luot song dep tuyet voi

Medina the best 🇧🇷🇧🇷

How big are their boards?

Caaaarves through it

Forever amazing awesome

aereo de back side fodastico....

What did they score Jon on the last wave?

5:37 a malícia 😏

Carrrrvvvesssss through it

Que semi irada .

ainda nao consigo acreditar nesse 9 do JJF

Great balance 🏄‍♀️

Cool la video

I thought Gabes surfing was stylish and flowing with beautiful carves and finishing , and that ridiculous air and the landing should have been an 11! in all my 45 years of watching surfing that was up there with JJF at Margaret s, Tom Carrolls pipeline snap and Kelly’s rotation at bells. I don’t think he was overscored at all and I’m an Australian so we never get overawed . Also JJF deserved that 9,0 definately fo4 th3 pressure he was under and to pull that wave off with such adrenaline and determination there is not many who could have done that.

revendo essa bateria vejo que os juizes queriam dá a vitoria a jonh jonh de qualquer jeito, avaliar aquela onda como 9 meus Deus...

Eu sou fã do JJF, acho que ele tem um dos estilos mais bonitos do surfe, mas eu sempre fico com a sensação de que suas notas são superiores àquelas que de fato mereceria. Isso tem feito diferença em baterias equilibradas como essa... Kelly Slater é um mito, não contesto isso, mas ele é outro surfista que tem no histórico ondas sobrevalorizadas, na minha opinião.

In this heat we could see who is better!! GoMedina

E eu achando que o Filipinho e a dar trabalho olha o medina chegando de mansinho

This is what's "Next Level"

So fã do medina mas essw jhon john e foda dms

Awesome yeeees

Surfers are the best!!

Medina em backflip monstro super humano

9 Mandrak esse de JJF

what a heat

JJF is the best ever to watch when you’re searching for amazing tricks of surfing.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾😳

5:10 o my good

Maravilhoso

5:37 por poco y JJF le corta las piernas a Gabriel Medina.

Dificil duelar com o Medina sem marcar ele,se voce ficar esperando ele errar ,ele vai la e inventa algo inesperado.

o principal é que a final foi essa, não a do Medine com o Zietz...

So cool

Cool

This MEDINA 🇧🇷 and the other BRAZILIAN SURFERS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! HERE 2020 UK ISN T BRAZIL MUCH BIGGER COUNTRY THAN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 and the USA 🇺🇸 ( WITHOUT ALASKA??) FAN OF SURF 🏆🌊🌊

Medina é sinistro🔥

Medina é o naiorau saber domina o mar por isso aposto tudo nele

mlk e brabo

Gabriel medina super aereo mis respetos hermano

superheat

Is this the 9.4? Hummm... I feel like it’s going to be under but I think it’s gonna be better than a 7... Even the commentator knew that was overscored buuuuuuuuut he is JJF lol.

Medina quebra muito Bra na Area

That 9.0 wasn’t overscored, what more could of anyone have done with those sections and wave? And the Air Rev on a lip already crumbling? Most guys would of Floated or done a turn. The first turn was powerful and the slap/speed turn after to be able to hit the last section, pretty perfect

this was last year

🏄🏄🏄🏄

Now the surf is just roller for Medina

Where in France ???

Mar liso lindo da porra

why wsl dont wait tuesday ? 1.50m waves saturday and 3.50m waves tuesday with more spectacle and a big pipeline . i dont understand why you prefere finish the competition saturday :(

Medina the best 😎✌

the most important is that this heat was the final, dont you agree?

Really really happy Medina took the W!! He was definitely deserving it :) JJF looked so nervous at the begging of the heat tho. Also, is it just me or John's waves were a bit overscored? That 9 really didn't feel like a 9 :S

MEDINA. BRAZIL 🌊 🇬🇧. 🇧🇷

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
